Difference between Dementia and Lyme disease

Dementia vs. Lyme disease

Dementia is a broad category of brain diseases that cause a long-term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember that is great enough to affect a person's daily functioning. Lyme disease, also known as Lyme borreliosis, is an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the Borrelia type which is spread by ticks.

Similarities between Dementia and Lyme disease

Dementia and Lyme disease have 20 things in common (in Unionpedia): Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, Depression (mood), Encephalitis, Encephalopathy, Infection, London, Lyme disease, Magnetic resonance imaging, Meningitis, Multiple sclerosis, Neurodegeneration, Neuroimaging, Neuropsychiatry, NMDA receptor, Psychosis, Schizophrenia, Sensitivity and specificity, Single-photon emission computed tomography, Spirochaete, Systemic lupus erythematosus.

Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease

Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) is a universally fatal brain disorder.

Magnetic resonance imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes of the body in both health and disease.

Spirochaete

A spirochaete or spirochete is a member of the phylum Spirochaetes, which contains distinctive diderm (double-membrane) bacteria, most of which have long, helically coiled (corkscrew-shaped or spiraled, hence the name) cells.
